CE, CCC, UL, ROHS certification of their respective characteristics and scope
[China] CE mark Cable Materials Network is a safety certification mark, the manufacturer is considered open and a passport to enter the European market. CE on behalf of European unification (CONFORMITEEUROPEENNE). Those who posted "CE" mark of the product can be sold in the EU member countries, need not meet the requirements of each member, in order to achieve the free movement of goods within the EU member states range.
In the EU market, "CE" mark is a mandatory certification mark, whether within the EU production of the products, or products of other countries, in order to free circulation in the EU market, it is necessary to add "CE" mark to indicate that the product in line with "technical coordination and standardization of new methods," the basic requirements of the EU directive. This is a mandatory requirement of EU law on the products. Headquartered in the EU Member States must be made by certified bodies can issue certificates. Since the late 1980s, there have been a number of foreign certification agencies stationed in China.
CCC certification is the "China Compulsory Certification", the English name "China Compulsory Certification", abbreviated as CCC. CCC certification mark to "CCC", the National Certification and Accreditation Administration Committee in accordance with "mandatory product certification regulations" (State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine Order No. 5 People's Republic of China) to develop.
The current "CCC" certification mark is divided into four categories, namely:
1, CCC + S safety certification mark.
2, CCC + EMC EMC class certification mark.
3, CCC + S & E safety and EMC certification mark.
4, CCC + F fire certification mark.
Each class has a sign above four categories of size five specifications.
UL is a product safety testing and certification organization, she is American product safety standards founders. In the years more than a century, UL has for hundreds of products and components for the relevant safety standards test and evaluate its management system in accordance with international standards. In the United States, it is safe for consumers UL mark symbol. Global, UL is one of the most trusted manufacturers conformity assessment provider.
UL is the English Underwriters Laboratories (Underwriter Laboratories Inc.) shorthand. UL safety test of America's most authoritative, but also engaged in security testing and identification of the larger civil society institutions on the border. It is an independent, non-profit, do testing for public safety professional organizations. It uses scientific methods to study the test to determine the extent of a variety of materials, devices, products, equipment, construction of life, property and whether the harm; determining, write, issue the appropriate standards and help reduce and prevent life loss of property information, while carrying out the facts research business. In short, it is mainly engaged in safety certification and operational safety proof products business, the ultimate aim is for the market to get the goods with a considerable level of safety, guaranteed to personal health and property safety to contribute. Product safety certification as an effective means to eliminate technical barriers to international trade in terms of, UL to promote the development of international trade also played an active role.
UL product certification, the type of test services can be divided into the column name, recognition and classification.
1) column name (LISTED): In general, the column name only applies to the complete product and a variety of devices and devices qualified personnel in the field to be replaced or installed, are UL listed a variety of products and services include: home appliances , medical equipment, computers, business equipment and role in building all kinds of electrical products, such as distribution systems, fuses, wires, switches and other electrical components and so on. By UL listed products, usually marked with the UL Listing Mark on each product. Listing Mark usage.
2) Accreditation (Recognized): Services are UL approved in the service of a project, and its products can only be identified in the UL Listing, Classification or as components of other approved products, raw materials use. Approved products in the structure is not complete, or there are certain restrictions on the use to ensure the expected safety performance. In most cases, the approved products tracking service belong to the class R. Belongs to the class L recognition products are electronic line (AVLV2), processing wire (ZKLU2), harness (ZPFW2), aluminum (DVVR2), and metal flexible tube (DXUZ2). Accreditation requirements with product approval mark.
3) classification (Classification): Classification Services only product-specific hazard evaluation, or on the outside of the implementation of other standards UL standards (including internationally recognized standards, such as IEC and ISO standards, etc.) of the product were evaluated. In general most of the products are not consumer grade products, but the use of industrial or commercial product. UL logo in hierarchical flag indicates that the product identified by UL when there are certain restrictions and a predetermined range. For example on the use of industrial chemicals such as solvents, fire only when the range reaches its ignition temperature may occur evaluated. Grade service and same column name for certain products and services, but generally only for one aspect or several aspects of the product evaluation, as in the United States, this type of medical X-ray diagnostic equipment to the country to comply with US law and the relevant radiation emission and beam provisions of flow accuracy, but because only the X-ray as UL classified product, so only evaluate its mechanical properties, electrical properties and other non-radiation properties of these aspects.
4) Multiple column names, multiple approval or multiple tiered services: When an applicant in a UL acquires the column name, approval or grading service, and its products to be in the name of another company's production to meet the needs of sales, may apply Multiple column names, multiple recognition or multiple grading services, in this case, to get the column name, or manufacturer approved classification list are allowed to use the product in another company's name, but the product in addition to the company code, product code or UL believes that other features may be accepted, but must be included with the original name, approval or grading produce consistent product.
On behalf of the application if the applicant does not obtain UL Listed in the name of their company, approval or grading service, he can apply with another firm (usually a retailer or wholesaler) is: 5) AL "column name, approval or grading service column name, recognition or grading, the "AL" column name, approval or rating services - and Multi column names, multiple or multi-tiered services recognized the difference between the applicant is not in its celebrity column.
RoHS:
European Parliament and the EU Council in January 2003 by the RoHS directive, stands for The Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous substances in Electnical and Electronic Equipment, restricting the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, also known as 2002 / 95 / EC Directive, the EU 2005 form 2005/618 / EC resolution again for 2002/95 / EC complements, clearly defines the maximum limit value of six hazardous substances.
